I would have let you leave

Inspired by Katie Herzig's line, "I would've let you leave" in Static Waves. Amazing song.
Some parts probably sound familiar, probably cause I've had this awesome song on loop.

--

Doesn’t matter if I didn’t want to
I would have let you leave
But do tell me
Of your foreign victories
When we’re miles apart
In distance and the heart

I trace the steps
To the day
Where we parted
Cause I count the steps
From where I am
And where we started

I know you’ll never understand
But try to follow with me
If you can

If you can try
I wouldn’t mind
I want to tell you
I wished you mine

Cause here I stand
Even if it’s just sentimentally
I would have let you leave
Here’s the key that I still hold faithfully

I held your hand
When mine were shaking
I kissed your lips
When they were quivering

But now you need
Someone to be
Something better than me
I would have let you leave

But I’m begging for you not to leave
